Overall, Evergreen is a town of professionals, managers, and sales and office workers. There are especially a lot of people living in Evergreen who work in management occupations (17.54%), sales jobs (13.27%), and office and administrative support jobs (10.39%).

Of important note, Evergreen is also a town of artists. Evergreen has more artists, designers and people working in media than 90% of the communities in America. This concentration of artists helps shape Evergreen's character.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their homes - 11.06% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.

In addition, Evergreen is home to many people who could be described as "urban sophisticates." Urban sophisticates are people who are both educated and wealthy, and thus tend to be older, richer, and more established than young professionals. "Urban sophisticates" is not just about being educated and well-off financially: it is a point of view and state of mind, one that you might call 'urbaneness.' But such people can and do regularly live in small towns, suburbs and rural areas, as well as in big cities. They read, support the arts and high-end shops, and love travel.

Because of many things, Evergreen is a very good place for families to consider. With an enviable combination of good schools, low crime, college-educated neighbors who tend to support education because of their own experiences, and a high rate of home ownership in predominantly single-family properties, Evergreen really has some of the features that families look for when choosing a good community to raise children. Is Evergreen perfect? Of course not, and if you like frenetic night life, it will be far from your cup of tea. But overall this is a solid community, with many things to recommend it as a family-friendly place to live.

One downside of living in Evergreen, however, is that residents on average have to contend with a long commute, spending on average 35.40 minutes every day commuting to work.

Evergreen is a small town, and as such doesn't have a public transit system that people use to get to and from their jobs every day.
